Gotta be in it to win it
I'm especially bored with the Messages.app. I still can't believe iMessages aren't cloud-based, like most other messaging platforms. I understand regular SMS/MMS texts might have other implications, but iMessages should be speedier like facebook messenger, whatsapp, etc. and it just looks so dated. It needs an overhaul.
Messages just got an overhaul. Fwiw, I use iMessage and whatsapp; whatsapp has come s long way but I like iMessage better.

Morning MacRumors crew, new day, new chance for iOS 10.3 beta 1! Here's hoping!
I'm optimistic.

I think if Sonny had said, "10.3 will come out the 10th, assuming 10.2.1 comes out on the 9th" his sequence would have been correct, just the dates wrong.

I asked Federico Vittici about his tweet about 10.3 being imminent, and he said that it was coming, and it would have iPad features. I trust his little birdies.

I hope it has exciting stuff for iPhones too (for those of us without iPads).

Is this Vittici guy legit? Never heard of him

He's one of the well-known iPad Only guys (He got a review unit of the 12.9, and Phil Schiller has tweeted is articles). He said back after WWDC2016 that his sources told him there'd be an iPad-specific iOS 10 update early in 2017. He is sticking to his story.

As with all of these, huge grains of salt. But I trust him when he says there will be a 10.3 and it will feature the iPad. He's also not going down the "when will the beta come out?" road.

no. there was nothing exciting in 10.1 or 10.2 that i wanted to preview ahead of final release.

i'm assuming 10.3 will have something a bit more interesting... don't let me down apple...

When iOS 10.3 beta 1 drops , it will start another speculation. Can you guess what we will speculate??

I don't want to get any hopes up if nothings gonna happen, but I've been monitoring the ping time of developer.apple.com and its usually 30ms. And now there is a lot of 130ms.... Maybe something is happening server side...
